Carl Park is a public boat ramp in Matagorda County, Texas, on Tres Palacios River. From here SeaStatus scores 5 waters: Johnsons Timber Slough, Willow Dam Slough, Tres Palacios River, Tres Palacios Bay and Matagorda Bay (Area 3 of 4).
The main water here is Johnsons Timber Slough. Rivers are scored mostly on wind and current. Wave height is not part of the score, because a river has no real sea state; visibility and comfort make up the rest. Tide predictions come from NOAA station 8773146, East Matagorda, the closest one to here. Its conditions are read at a reference point on the water about 1.5 mi from this ramp.
Scores are decision support, not a substitute for your own judgment or the official NWS forecast. Read the limits.
